Ok heres what I would like to know guys. I am running CMY's stock desire CWR Rom. I want to change the kernel or update but I am not sure how to do so with a CWR build? The other part is when I do get a build upadte how to go about saving info, settings and flashing the new rom in CWR? Any help would be appreciated and I have searched but can't really find specifics to much about CWR?
To flash an update such as a kernel, save the zip file to your sd card. Then in magldr menu go to 8: AD Recovery (assuming you are running magldr 1.13 and that you have flashed a cwm 1.3 partition) - select install zip from sd card - choose zip from sd card, then navigate to the folder where the zip is stored, select the update and then select Yes to flash it.
If you want to save the rom and all apps and data, from the Recovery menu select backup and restore and then select backup.
Ok as far as the kernel that is exactly what I am doing. I do have magldr 1.13 and the 400MB partition not sure the version but the most updated CWR. Anyway it keeps giving me an error after I choose update zip and choose file. Cant remember what the error is but it won't open the zip file.
Are you choosing update zip or as I stated - install zip?
Ok I think I got it figured out....

I am having a heck of a time tryingto flash a new rom onto my nexus s. I have downloaded MoDoCa and CM7 and put both .zip's on my SD card.
When i go to install via clockwork, its verifies the install and fails saying it cant find any of the packages. I left the files as a zip, i also extracted wthem within the same folder.
Im so lost why this wont work. Also the backup's i made before flashing dont wanna flash either. I can only get barebones 2.3. HELP!
Are you using version 3.0.0.0 or higher of Clockwork? That's one of the requirements on Modaco's ROM.
You should leave the Modaco rom as a zip. Put it in the root of your sdcard.
I think what's happening to you is that you're trying to flash it the wrong way.
In Clockwork, don't select the flash update.zip file, what you need to do is choose the menu option to flash a file from the sdcard. This puts you into a selection mode screen where you will navigate through the files and folders in the sdcard to the one you want to flash, then select it and flash away.
Have you tried it that way?
EDIT: P.S - you don't "flash" nandroid backup files, you restore them from the backup/restore menu option in Clockwork. You probably know that, but just making sure, since there shouldn't be an issue restoring them.
i have a really big issue, for some reason i am unable to install any rom through cwm, i follow the instruction in every rom i tried and failed. in CWM, when i pick "Choose zip from sdcard" and then the rom, the installation stays for like less than a second, i tried to download and install magldr 1.13, ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5, and the Rom A LOT and still fail though, i tried googling the solution but failed to find one...by the way i am familiar with task 29, tried it twice and failed... for some reason i dont have an issue with installing Roms via DAF...any solutions????!!!!!!!!
Also, there isn't a CWM v3.0.0.5 for the hd2, the current version is 1.13

Maybe wrong CWM partition.
How do you copy the .zip to the SD card?

sry to write that wrong, yes i do have the latest CWM, i copy my zip using a card reader
So you put your phone off, get your SD card in your pc, Copy the .zip to the root of your sd. (Safe remove the SD card from pc)
Put SD back in phone, phone on, open CWM, select: Install zip from sd card, select the .zip.
and in the installation progress it just goes off? Can you try another ROM, see if that's the problem.
tried a few different roms and the same issue keeps happening...any solutions?
Start from scratch, Winmo 6.5, Task29, Magldr 1.13, CWM 1.13 and hope for the best.
i tried doing that now....again, and still fail..
dear GOD i cant believe using a sandisk adapter would be fixing the whole thing and that a card reader wouldnt work...though thanks alot for ur help man!!

i think if i do this, i rewrite my rom and i can not boot after this.
are u sure, if this correct operation?
1 - do a cwr full backup (cwr - backup and restore - backup)
2 - flash the new rom as mentioned above, 9 times in 10 it will work fine, no data loss.
if it doesn't boot after the update
3 - in cwr do a 'wipe data factory reset'
4 - flash new rom - let it boot all the way to the android welcome screen, then reboot into cwr
5 - in cwr - backup and restore - advanced restore - restore the sd-ext and data partitions.

Then follow the same steps but instead of wiping everything just flash the update file . Like in CWR choose install zip from sd card . then choose the zip which you just downloaded and flash it .
its actually really simple .
1. Boot into recovery
2. Choose "Install zip from sd card"
3. then "Choose zip from sdcard"
4. Choose the zip file which you just downloaded . the one that has the camera and browser update in it .
oh right, i see now, that option 'flash update.zip from sd' in cwm, , you don't need that one, a normal install zip from sd will do fine, without wiping anything.

Yes it will overwrite your original wmobile rom as booting winsows mobile 6.5 from magldr is not supported yet. You can boot only to windows phone 7 or android. It will not brick your phone it is just bootloader on the top of original bootloader for hd2.

I am also wish to perform an update like the thread starter but I have read from the developer's thread mentioning that I need to reflash the file flash.cfg with a new partition before applying a new update. Would it clean my previous setting of the ROM if I flash a new flash.cfg? Or I still have to go through flashing the entire ROM again? I had previously flash 2 updates on my ROM and noticed a drop in performance speed. I had to do a task29 then reflash back the ROM to get the initial performance speed. Would appreciate anyone's help.
when you flash flash.cfg, you are re riting all teh partitions, so they will all be empty, so you need to do a full backup, flash the new rom, let it boot all teh way first boot, turn off, into cwm, backups and restore - advanced restore - restore sd-ext and then restore data.

Simple please because i dont know much...if it possible to copy the file at sd and just press the sd install from the recovery ...
Do you have the cLK bootloader installed? If you don't, you can't use ROM manager properly on the HD2.
However, I'd suggest downloading the ROM you want from the browser, booting the HD2 into MAGDLR--> recovery, and installing from there. [ That is assuming you using MADGLR, which I'm assuming you are].

Copy the rom you want to your sd card (download after which bootloader you are using)
Wipe data/cache/dalvik from cwm and install rom.
and how do i know wich bootloader i use?And if you be kind could you tell me by a link wich rom is mach to my phone without problems?
When you boot up your phone, do you see a cmd-like screen showing some text after the htc screen? If so, you are using MAGLDR. Otherwise, cLK.
yes there is one...like some comand are runing and writes "ok" "done" and after that is the android logo..
so
wich rom is the best fit to hd2 and how to i put it in?
Is this the way? "Wipe data/cache/dalvik from cwm and install rom" and if so the file with the rom i put it on sd card root?or in a folder?
Sorry for the lot of guestions..

The best ROM depends on what you like. I'd suggest using Tytung's NexusHD2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
So, to install this ROM, you need to-
1. download the ROM and put it on your SD card. Just download it from your PC and drag it onto the SD card root, not in a folder. [it doesn't matter that much, but it's easier to just have it there instead of in a folder].
2. Boot into MAGDLR. Do this by holding the volume DOWN button and end call button at the same time while booting the phone.
3. In MAGDLR, scroll down into AD Recovery. From there, wipe data/factory reset, then install the .zip from SD card. Reboot your phone and enjoy the new ROM.

Yes this is mostly right but:
1. Use the app Titanium Backup to create a backup of all your apps and data on your SD card
2. To boot into MAGLDR hold down the power button, not volume down
3. Before wiping data I would recommend creating a full backup of your ROM in CWM, just in case
Also, you may need to repartition your NAND if necessary. Look in the first few posts of any ROM you decide to flash, it will at some point tell you what size 'system partition' you will need to create. If this partition size is less than or the same as 150Mb, you don't need to change anything. If, however, it is larger than 150Mb do the following:
1. Download and install the NAND Toolkit
2. Boot into MAGLDR menu then select 5. USB Flasher
3. Select 'MAGLDR repartition' in the toolkit
4. Select the correct partition size from the options given in the toolkit
5. Repartition
6. Flash your ROM (as a .zip) in CWM
7. Reboot, then reboot another few times just to be safe
8. (Optional) Restore your apps by downloading Titanuim backup, then pressing menu>batch>restore all missing apps and data.
Hope this helps
Hello, i have htc hd2 and i already intallled this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209474
Now, i want to update this ROM to this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662881
But i dont know how, i have magldr installed on my device, 2.08 spl and the proper radio. I dont really know if i first have to uninstall the current android i have(i dont know how either) or if i just flash it on top of it. Another question i have is how to flash a rom that comes on a zip file from magldr. Because i installed the android that i currently have with an .exe that came inside the rom i downloaded.
Thanks, i hope i can get this solved asap.
You don't need to uninstall your current ROM, but you have to install CWM first with the correct partition size. After that, boot into cwm by selecting option "8. AD Recovery" and then "install zip from sdcard" and choose the ROM you downloaded as a .zip .. and you should be good to go.
If you need elaboration, you can follow this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16528026&postcount=7
Keep in mind you have to modify "Step 8" & "Step 10" according to your ROM.
Also, if you installed your first rom using daf.exe some time ago there's a good chance you don't have magldr 1.13.
You can tell by looking at the magldr menu screen at the top, or by looking at option 8,, if option 8 ISN'T "ad recovery" then you need to upgrade magldr. (Well, technically you don't, but its way easier if you do)

I installed my previous rom with daf.exe. I have to install CWM now, i have magdlr 1.13, so i can do it. But i read this:
"WARNING MESSAGES:
GOING FROM A DAF FLASHED ROM TO A RECOVERY FLASHED ROM WILL WIPE ALL DATA
IF YOU FLASH ANOTHER ROM USING DAF, RECOVERY WILL NO LONGER WORK CORRECTLY, YOU WILL NEED TO REFLASH RECOVERY"
I didnt understand what it meant with "wipe all data". Is there any chance to brake my device?
Thanks
It just means that the apps and data on your current ROM will be deleted (SD card will not be affected). You can use an app like Titanium Backup to backup your apps and app data then restore them after flashing a new ROM.
I already flashed the rom succesfully, thanks for the help
flashed but reboot failed
Flash was successfull, but first reboot failed. Phone shows the cyanoGen mod figure with an arrow turning around it for ages.
Any ideas how to make it working?

Make sure you setup your partition perfectly as the OP said for your ROM,if u new on this just grabed HD2 Toolkit,try to start all over again.
but if you have settle up your partition perfectly try to go to recovery wipe cache,than wipe dalvik cache and reboot,see if this working,good luck
Long Live HD2,Long Live Rock'n Roll!!
